i don't understand it either. each time i implement one small chunk of that big set of angular, irregular syntax, i end up feeling fairly miserable, with no feeling of accomplishment. the WS-* specifications are amazing: they present whole pages full of xml, often to do something trivial (eg, establish or extend a lease). miserable. still, you're stuck having to deal with more than a little of it if you're doing a `browser' (which makes it sound bucolic!).
